Hold everything. The Simpsons may not set in the United States as we have all been led to believe — and Simpsons fan, astronomer, and Slate’s Bad Astronomy blogger, Phil Plait has a pretty ingenious reason why. It all has to do with how the show’s creators draw the Moon.
In the episode The Musk Who Fell to Earth, which aired on Jan. 25, SpaceX boss Elon Musk befriends Homer when he arrives in Springfield.
In one scene Musk gazes up at the night sky where a crescent Moon is shining above. But Plait noticed something peculiar about the Moon – it was facing the wrong way for a town supposedly in the U.S.A.~snip~

The cold snap across central Canada has many of us wishing we could be anywhere but here. Those shivering folks in Brandon, Man. (-40 C), in Rouyn-Noranda, Que. (-34) and even Toronto (-30, with the windchill) may not want to hear this, but it could be a lot worse. At least we can be reasonably sure this winter will end.
That wasn’t true 200 years ago, when the country that would become Canada was about to be plunged into the cold snap to end all cold snaps. A series of volcanic eruptions around the world tossed ash into the air, blocking the sun and cooling the Earth’s surface temperature by an average of 1 degree Fahrenheit, though some places were more affected than others.~snip~

I believe this was before the birth of Al Gore and the church of global warming.

It seems that I can't post this picture enough because it symbolizes the state of the free press in this country.
See as how the media has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the democrat part for at least 3 decades now.
After white washing Bill Clinton's affairs during his time in the white house, and being surprised that the American public bought it, they've just become bolder with their deceptions.

Brian Williams gets caught in multiple lies so obviously some commie/liberal journalist has to find a "right wing" offender to equivocate the sin to.
So one of the least respected libtard publications floats a Bill Or'Reilly story. A few other leftist websites pick it up to pretty much a big yawn.
I'm not really a fan of O'Reilly's but his response was pretty good and the 2 situations are not equivalent.
Williams was busted by troops who were there, Mother Jones relies on others working in the media to get their "gotcha" story. Seeing as how "journalists" have already shown themselves to be self serving liars there really isn't much legs to this.
Now we got the "Giuliani" scandal and judging by the last midterms I would say he's not the only one who wonders about Obama's loyalty to America.
A look at the last 6 years of his "presidency" would give most people pause to wonder the same things.

But don't worry, Obama's media apologists have his ass covered, like always.
Take a look at this thread at Twitchy.

The saddest part of all this is the fact that we don't have to worry about government destroying a free press in this country. The leftist/commie infiltrators in the media are doing a good job of it already.

You know one would think that with the success of "The Big Bang Theory" the image of "nerds" would be rehabilitated into something people would like to aspire to.
But then you have these kinds of clueless members of the fifth estate co-opting the term to try and makes themselves seem smarter than they really are.

Enter Melissa Harris-Perry, who popularized tampon earrings, asking Eric Holder in an interview to quack like a duck.
These are the kind s of questions that the self styled nerds at MSNBC think is worthy of asking the most divisive AG ever.
Real nerds don't deserve this.

As an employer, would you rehire a former employee guilty of misconduct? Say, someone you caught falsifying official forms, peeking at secured confidential files, or misusing company property? How about rehiring hundreds of such misbehaving workers? These aren’t trick questions. Most employers breathe a sigh of relief when such an employee departs. You don’t hire them back.Rehiring is for someone you want back, not someone who was a problem. But the IRS may be different from your average employer. So suggests a new report by the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration. The watchdog report says the IRS rehired hundreds of former employees with prior substantiated conduct or performance issues.The Inspector General identified hundreds of rehires despite prior substantiated conduct or performance issues. Some were serious. They ranged from unpaid taxes, unauthorized access to taxpayer information, leave abuse, falsification of official forms, unacceptable performance, misuse of IRS property, and off-duty misconduct. The Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration concluded that the rehires pose increased risks to the IRS and taxpayers.~snip~

This is the agency that promises poor service, gives a pass to Obama's butt buddy Al "the shakedown" Sharpton and singles out opposition groups to their dear leader.
This is what we get for electing their ideological twin.
It's also what we get when we allow government agencies that are supposed to serve all the people to become infested with communist leftists.
It's beyond time to purge the IRS.

If credibility means anything to NBC News, Brian Williams will no longer be managing editor and anchor of the evening newscast by the end of the day Friday.The admission from Williams Wednesday that he lied about being in a Chinook helicopter that was hit by enemy fire during the invasion of Iraq in 2003 is astonishing. And he only admitted the lie after being confronted with it by the military publication, "Stars and Stripes," which has a well-documented report and timeline showing his shifting version of events over the years.Williams told the lie as recently as Friday.~snip~

The real question is how the liberal/commie/media has maintained any credibility over the years starting with Walter Cronkite's fabrication that we got our asses handed to us during the Tet offensive, Dan Rather lying about George W. Bush's National Guard service to Candy Crowley running interference for Obama in the debates. The medias contempt for it's viewers couldn't be any plainer.
Who knows how many we don't know about.

Which is the entire point of Williams being caught in an out and out lie.
These guys set themselves up as not only reporters but the gate keepers of public opinion.
A lot is being written on the why's of Williams deception with most missing the mark entirely. The liberal medias modern existence depends on deception in order to push the liberal/democrat agenda.

Stories like this are an attempt by the ideologically driven to inoculate themselves from criticism for their anti-war,anti-troops sentiment. A way for them to say that they can't be criticized because they too have risked life and limb. We are simply being played by the media.
The good news is that with the internet those who actually know the truth can get it out there calling out the "trusted names in news" and making them accountable. They no longer control the narrative.
